What do children actually think of the assessment that is carried out in school? We know what teachers do, and what national guidelines suggest, but is assessment actually effective for children in improving their learning, and their thinking about their learning? This
action research enquiry into pupils’ voices was undertaken by Patricia Atkinson, a teacher convinced of the value of a repertoire of assessment strategies, and concerned about the ineffectiveness of ‘marking’, compared with assessment for effective learning. The study won First Prize in the SCRE Practitioner Awards. |
